Those brown shoes that men wear, they look a bit like shoes, and a bit like trainers, but they are neither a trainer nor a shoe and therefore look shit.
What have you noticed other people wearing that you think is shit?

This always gets my goat. Fashion is shit, proper shit, and disposable. The same with 99% of stuff in high street chains. It's about permanently maintaining style, your own one at that. I can't put into words how annoyed I'd be if I saw someone wearing the same thing as me. Once I walked into a pub at Fulham and someone had a similar (not the same) shirt as me and I went home and changed. I definitely take it too far but I can't comprehend why anyone would want to dress like everyone else.
